Abstract

A wireless communication terminal apparatus, a wireless communication base station apparatus, a wireless communication system and a telephone call connecting method wherein the message size in a telephone call connection can be reduced. A broadcast information producing part (203) assigns cell level information, which is preconfiguration information managed by the cell level, and PLMN level information, which is preconfiguration information managed by the PLMN level, to different transmission units to produce broadcast information, which is then broadcasted from a broadcast information transmitting part (204) to UEs. A preconfiguration usage deciding part (208) determines whether a UE, which sets a channel, can use a preconfiguration. If the UE can use a preconfiguration, a control information producing part (209) causes control information to include the corresponding index, and then the control information is transmitted from a control information transmitting part (210) to the UE.

Claims

1. A radio communication base station apparatus comprising a management section that manages configuration information and indexes representing the configuration information in a layered manner, the configuration information comprising a combination pattern of channel setting information.

2. The radio communication base station apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising:

a broadcast section that broadcasts preconfiguration information of a public land mobile network level comprising setting information of a radio bearer and a transport channel having a common setting among operators, and preconfiguration information of a cell level comprising setting information of a physical channel having different settings per cell;

a control information creating section that creates control information that specifies the channel setting information using an index representing the preconfiguration information of the public land mobile network level and an index representing the preconfiguration information of the cell level; and

a transmitting section that transmits the created control information.

3. The radio communication base station apparatus according to claim 2, wherein the broadcast section broadcasts the preconfiguration information of the public land mobile network level and the preconfiguration information of the cell level in different transmission units.

4. The radio communication base station apparatus according to claim 2, further comprising a management section that manages a radio communication terminal apparatus communicating with the radio communication base station apparatus as to whether or not the radio communication terminal apparatus holds preconfiguration information of a neighboring cell,

wherein, when the radio communication terminal apparatus holds the preconfiguration information of the neighboring cell, the control information creating section includes the preconfiguration information of the neighboring cell in the control information and commands the radio communication terminal apparatus to perform handover.

5. The radio communication base station apparatus according to claim 2, further comprising a holding section that holds neighboring cell information that identifies the neighboring cell,

wherein the control information creating section includes the neighboring cell information and the index representing the preconfiguration information of the cell level in the control information, and commands a radio communication terminal apparatus in communication to perform handover.

6. A radio communication terminal apparatus comprising:

a management section that manages configuration information and indexes representing the configuration information in a layered manner, the configuration information comprising a combination pattern of channel setting information;

a receiving section that receives the indexes; and

a channel setting section that sets channels using configuration information represented by the received indexes.

7. The radio communication terminal apparatus according to claim 6, further comprising:

a storage section that stores preconfiguration information of a public land mobile network level comprising setting information of a radio bearer and a transport channel having a common setting among operators, and preconfiguration information of a cell level comprising setting information of a physical channel having different settings per cell; and

a report section that reports that the storage section stores the preconfiguration information of the public land mobile network level and the preconfiguration information of the cell level.

8. The radio communication terminal apparatus according to claim 7, wherein the report section reports that the storage section stores the preconfiguration information of the cell level transmitted from a neighboring cell and reports information of the neighboring cell holding the preconfiguration information.

9. The radio communication terminal apparatus according to claim 8, wherein the report section, upon reporting received quality of a signal transmitted from the neighboring cell, reports the information of the neighboring cell holding the preconfiguration information.

10. The radio communication terminal apparatus according to claim 7, further comprising a channel setting section that sets a channel to a neighboring cell using neighboring cell information that identifies the neighboring cell and the preconfiguration information of the cell level.

11. A radio communication system comprising:

a radio communication base station apparatus that comprises;

a broadcast section that broadcasts preconfiguration information of a public land mobile network level comprising setting information of a radio bearer and a transport channel having a common setting among operators, and preconfiguration information of a cell level comprising setting information of a physical channel having different settings per cell;

a control information creating section that creates control information that specifies channel setting information using an index representing the preconfiguration information of the public land mobile network level and an index representing the preconfiguration information of the cell level; and

a transmitting section that transmits the created control information; and

a radio communication terminal apparatus that comprises;

a receiving section that receives the preconfiguration information of the public land mobile network level, the preconfiguration information of the cell level and the indexes transmitted from the radio communication base station apparatus;

a storage section that stores the received preconfiguration information of the public land mobile network level and the preconfiguration information of the cell level; and

a channel setting section that reads preconfiguration information represented by the indexes from the storage section and sets channels using the read preconfiguration information.

12. A call connection method comprising:

a broadcast step of broadcasting, from a radio communication base station apparatus, preconfiguration information of a public land mobile network level comprising setting information of a radio bearer and a transport channel having a common setting among operators, and preconfiguration information of a cell level comprising setting information of a physical channel having different settings per cell;

a storing step of storing, in a radio communication terminal apparatus, the preconfiguration information of the public land mobile network level and the preconfiguration information of the cell level broadcasted from the radio communication base station apparatus;

a transmission step of transmitting, from the radio communication base station apparatus, control information that specifies channel setting information using an index representing the preconfiguration information of the public land mobile network level and an index representing the preconfiguration information of the cell level; and

a channel setting step of setting channels using the preconfiguration information represented by the indexes stored in the storing step and transmitted from the radio communication base station apparatus.
